“He just signed it here a few minutes ago,” said Veach.

“Hard to put into words what Travis means to this organization, this city, and [it] was certainly a priority to adjust his contact for us, and it was something that was important for Clark [Hunt].

“[It’s] very fitting that Travis is now the highest-paid tight end in these two years… just a really special day and moment for this organization to once again recognize arguably one of the greatest tight ends to ever do it.”

High praise for Kelce
The Chiefs won their second consecutive Super Bowl last season and Kelce registered 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns, adding 32 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns in the postseason.

“Every now and then, you have one of these guys who are outliers,” explained Veach of Kelce.

“It’s funny. It’s not even May yet, and today, we had the chance to get out there in Phase 2. Guys were out there running around, and Travis was the first guy in line.
